Swimming in February - 57/365

Today is the last morning in Florida for awhile. 

Every time we come it gets harder to go home. We just love Florida! 

We woke up around 7:30 and decided to hit the playground at the resort before we got showered and packed up for the airport. We left the room, and realized it was already around 75 degrees. It was BEAUTIFUL! We played at the playground for awhile, then said what the heck, let's hit the pool! Turns out they were cleaning the big pool, getting it ready for the day, so we just let Reagan splash around in the baby pool. She was LOVING it! We ended up talking to a lady that grew up in Struthers. What a small world! She and her husband now live in South Florida and love to take weekend trips up to Disney. 

After swimming for awhile, I headed back to the room to start my shower and get packed up. We got all situated, then went and had lunch at the resort food court. We got a bit of a late start to the airport, but thankfully, all the lines were nice and short. We ended up having plenty of time before our flight. There was a pretty nasty storm that rolled through right before we boarded the plane but by the time we were taking off, it wasn't even raining, thankfully! We got up in the air and had a pretty smooth flight. Although, I think the flight deck mentioned "gusty winds in Pittsburgh" about four times while in the air, which was making me rather nervous. As we started our decent, we hit the worst turbulence I have experienced in a flight. The plane was shaking and flopping everywhere. I honestly had tears in my eyes. At one point, the plane just dropped straight down and I think every passenger said "whoa" at the same time. Reagan, on the other hand, was just happy as a lark asking questions about anything and everything. Jim said it wasn't the worst he has experienced but was a little uncomfortable at certain points. We're both pretty good fliers, him more so than me. I don't get nervous flying but I HATE any type of turbulence...even minor. I was never so happy to be back to the gray skies of Ohio. (well PA at that point...LOL!) 

We had a smooth drive home and the wonderful weekend officially came to a close.
